Surrogate Questions

1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a surrogate?

-The advantages of having a surrogate would be crime rates dropping, good looks and not nearly as many health problems if any.

-The disadvantages would be loosing certain feelings of accomplishment or difference that you would have walking around in your own body such as working out to achieve great abs or enjoying your time with someone  as you and not as some robot.

2. Would you want to try a surrogate? Why or why not?

-The only reason I would try a surrogate is to do things I wouldn't normally do that might be dangerous but then again i wouldn't want to because the sense of accomplishment for that act is gone because it isn't really you that is trying the stunt its your robot body.

3. In the film, it says that 98 percent of the population uses surrogates. Why would society be so eager to be someone else--someone beautiful and perfect? What does this say about our society?

-The majority of our society will do anything to look and feel perfect just look at lip injections and random procedures such as that. Those same people will also spend however much to make it happen and don't care if it takes away other feelings such as love or accomplishments because they don't care much about those feelings. This makes our society look emotionless and in my eyes a little careless.

4. In the film the company VSI's company slogan is: "Life... Only Better." If you experience something via a surrogate--- is it real? Is the experience better?

-I would not consider the experience real at all and I feel like there wouldn't even be an experience since you know your not in danger of getting hurt you might not feel the same feeling of excitement or get scared at all.
